Episode 01: MILLI HILL
What does it really mean to have a positive birth?
In this episode, I get to talk to the incredible Milli Hill. She is a writer and freelance journalist with a passion for women’s rights in childbirth and throughout their reproductive lives. Her book The Positive Birth Book is one of the UK’s bestselling pregnancy guides, and has sold over 100k copies since publication in 2017. Her more recent books, ‘Give Birth like a Feminist’, and ‘My Period’ (for preteens), have also topped the Amazon charts. Her fourth book, Ultra Processed Women, sharp and timely wake-up call into how ultra-processed food can disproportionately affect women is set to be another huge success.
In this episode we talk about feminism in the birth space, words and the power they hold and why it is so important a positive experience is up there with a healthy baby! We also delve into why women should be at the heart of birth plus so much more!
